They sing here Oct. 2Sth:
in this portion of the exercises the audi
ence were treated to genuine musical feast
1t was furnished by the Welsh Prize Singers,
double quartet, who sang three hymns, ap-
pearing twice on the programme. 1t was the
tr.t appearance in America of this band OF
singers. They arrived on the Elder last
Monday. Throughout England and Wales
they are famous as concert singers, and are
as we'll known there as the Jubilee singers
were here some years ago. The singers are
under engagement to the Redpath Lyceum.
Their voices are very fresh and clear and
they sing in perfect harmony. Their musi-
cal expression is perfect, yet they sing with
the dash of the Jubilee singers 1t may be
said of them that they are destined to become
as popular here as they are in their own
land. Sun, ". T., Oct. II, 1887.

The making of lime casks forms an import

used in burning the lime forms another verv
important item. The transportation of the
lime from the quarries to the kilns has like
